Medicka Garden Brooch
(2026)
This brooch is a tribute to Medická Garden, my favorite park and the green heart of Bratislava's Old Town. It is a place where friends meet, families spend time together, and people escape the city's pace to read a book, relax, or exercise.
The design faithfully follows the network of pathways that shape the park. A small blue "eye" marks the location of the iconic Swan Fountain, adding a subtle detail that connects the piece to one of the garden's most beloved landmarks.

Park renovation
This year (2026), Medická Garden is undergoing a major renovation, including the restoration of its legendary Swan Fountain. I couldn't have wished for better timing—on the very day I planned to unveil this brooch, the fountain was switched on again (July 28, 2026). Seeing the park's iconic centerpiece come back to life on the same day made this project feel even more special.
